  • TikTok creator ByteDance has quietly published a new app called Whee.
  • The app promises a more authentic photo-sharing experience with your friends.
  • The release comes after a similar app, dubbed TikTok Notes, launched earlier this year.

ByteDance quietly published a new app dubbed Whee earlier this month (spotted by Artem Russakovskii), promising a more intimate and authentic experience.
